Lampard: Pellegrini not feeling pressure

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is showing no signs of
buckling under pressure, according to loanee Frank Lampard, with
the Chilean boss reportedly clinging to his job.

Pellegrini - in his second season in charge at Etihad Stadium -
is facing an uncertain future in Manchester as City are set to end
the 2014-15 campaign empty-handed.

City's Premier League title defence is hanging by a thread, with
four wins from 10 matches leaving the club six points adrift of
leaders Chelsea – who also have a game in hand.

The Manchester team have also crashed out of the UEFA Champions
League and FA Cup as pressure mounts on Pellegrini but veteran
midfielder Lampard - on loan from MLS outfit New York City - has
thrown his support behind the 61-year-old old.

"I think Manuel is very calm. You can see his nature. He is very
experienced and can handle all pressures," the 36-year-old
said.

"He's got a good manner and I think it is very important as a
top manager that you never look as if the pressure is getting to
you and he certainly never gives us that vibe."
